If cooked chicken is preferred, it can be substituted instead of tuna. Skinless chicken breast is often underated as boring. However, it contains niacin, vitamin B, iron, selenium and zinc. These nutrients are heart-healthy and also help reduce the risk for cancer. The benefits of tuna with its abundance of omega 3 cannot be understated. Both of these options are excellent choices.
